I don't know if this is in the right section, But i think it would be cool for a whole other hunt process, like haveing to buy another item that allows you to keep track of a SHADOW chain, and it overall adds another poke-dex to complete for all the people who are almost done with the current ones, i personally think it would be a cool idea

I didn't know that, but it is a good idea, sure we have shinys and events, but Shadow pokemon are making into the pokemon games as well

Shadow Pokémon aren't a good idea because there are no official sprites for them. Also, the Shadow pokémon do not appear at the main games, and adding big, very big features from spin-offs is not PokéHeroes objective. You may say "The Rumble Areas are from a spin-off!". Yes, you are right, but it is a 100% necessary feature, from where are we going to get items? Shadow Pokémon aren't necessary.

Canonically, Shadow Pokémon don't even look different from normal Pokémon... so what would be the point?
Unless you mean turning everything into an XD001-style thing, which I don't support at all. That just... what?
First of all, why would you be hatching Shadow Pokémon? From what I know of Colosseum and XD, that's not how it works at all. And second, why would they all be Shadow to the point of appearance changes? Shadow Lugia was not only a unique experiment that was never reproduced, but also a failure, as you CAN purify it (that's how you get a Lugia with Psycho Boost!), while the experiment's point was to create something you couldn't purify. So it was a one-off thing, and it was also unsuccessful and not intended to be reproduced.
And it also wasn't hatched from an Egg as a Shadow Pokémon.
Not to mention that there's no actual benefit to making closed-hearted, evil Pokémon on an adoptable site wherein they would be desirable to PokéHeroes. Even in Colosseum and XD, your main objective was to purify them, so to collect them and make their shadow forms somehow more desirable isn't logical.
So yeah, no support, sorry.

Charlotte, please do not "bump" other peoples' threads; if it's a suggestion, please state a reason for supporting/not supporting and post that and exactly that.

Anyway, can a mod move this to Rejected now?

Uh...

Shouldn't the OP be given some credit at least and this be moved to implemented?
